As an admin it seems silly and we all say "use FTP" but the EU's are non-technical and they don't see a reason to use another method of transferring files when they have one they've been using since before we took them on as customers, so they don't want to change - they pay the bills so we have to adapt, which is fair enough to an extent. Obviously when they want to send files larger than 20Mb we do insist on other methods (and reworking their documents to reduce the size, some .doc's can contain 6Mb hi-res images that have been reduced to fit in the document), in any case this is still a rare occasion. FYI -Exchange is set to 10Mb as default. Just because we as techie's know *better* ways to send large files, doesn't mean non-techie's do, it's a good thing too because we'd be out of a job :) Regards, Jay
